The trade names for the Venues, all trade names for each such Venue (other than the Signature Restaurant and the Pool Bar) and the Intellectual Property Rights specifically and exclusively related to such trade names shall be owned by Owner (collectively, the “Owner Trademarks”). For the sake of clarity, the tradename for the Signature Restaurant shall be owned by Manager and shall be a Manager Trademark. To the extent not previously done, Manager shall, at its own cost, promptly register the Manager Trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and following the issuance of the registration, shall thereafter take all actions to maintain such registration until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement or the date Owner ceases to utilize the license granted pursuant to Section 2.5 below. Owner shall, at its expense, promptly register all of the Owner Trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and following the issuance of the registrations, shall thereafter take all actions to maintain such registrations throughout the Term of this Agreement. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that, as of the Effective Date, the Parties intend to operate the Delivery Service and Catering Service using the trade name for the Signature Restaurant (possibly providing for other selections using the trade names for the Lobby Pub and Pool Bar as well); provided, however to the extent the Parties desire to operate the Catering Service and/or the Delivery Service under a different trade name(s), the Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith to mutually agree upon such trade names.

2.4.2Concepts. As of the Effective Date, the Parties have agreed on the Concepts for each Venue. As used herein, the Concept for the Signature Restaurant (as may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) is referred to herein as the “Signature Restaurant Concept,” the Concept for the Lobby Pub (as may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) is referred to herein as the “Lobby Pub Concept,” and the Concept for the Pool Bar (as may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) is referred to herein as the “Pool Bar Concept.” The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) Manager and/or any of its Affiliates shall own all rights, title and interest in and to the Signature Restaurant Concept (in such context, the “Manager Concepts”), and (b) Owner shall own all rights, title and interest in and to the Lobby Pub Concept and the Pool Bar Concept (collectively, the “Owner Concepts”). In the event Manager desires to materially modify any of the Manager Concepts, Manager shall present any such proposed modification(s) (along with any estimated costs in order to undertake any such modifications) to Owner for its review and approval, which approval may be granted by Owner in its sole discretion. Any change with respect to the Signature Restaurant Concept shall automatically be a Manager Concept.

20

2.4.3Protection. Manager shall take all action as is necessary or advisable, at its sole cost and expense, to maintain, protect and defend the Manager Trademarks and Manager Concepts, its interest therein and its right to authorize the licensed use of the same in accordance with this Agreement, including the institution, prosecution and defense of any claim, legal action or proceeding relating to the Manager Trademarks, the Manager Concepts or Manager’s rights therein. Owner shall take all action as is necessary or advisable, as an Operating Expense, to maintain, protect and defend the Owner Trademarks, the Owner Concepts and the Hotel Brand, its interest therein and its right to authorize the use of the same in accordance with this Agreement, including the institution, prosecution and defense of any claim, legal action or proceeding relating to the Owner Trademarks, the Owner Concepts and the Hotel Brand or Owner’s rights therein.

2.5.License.

2.5.1License of Manager Trademarks.

(a)From and after the final determination of the Manager Trademarks relating to the Venues and the registration of the same (if applicable) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, pursuant to Section 2.4.1 above, and continuing until the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, and in accordance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, Article 7 hereof), Manager hereby grants to Owner, Hotel Operator and their respective authorized agents, employees, and representatives a non-exclusive (except as provided for in this Agreement), royalty free, non-transferable license, right and privilege during the Term of this Agreement, to (and only to) (i) utilize the Manager Trademarks related to the Venues (which shall include Intellectual Property Rights related to any Manager Facility to the extent utilized at the Venues) in relation to and in connection with the operation of the Venues during the Term, (ii) utilize the Manager Trademarks related to the Venues (which shall include Intellectual Property Rights related to any Manager Facility to the extent utilized at the Venues) during the Term, in relation to and in connection with the design, establishment, and operation of the Venues, and (iii) utilize the Manager Trademarks related to the Venues and associated names or derivations of the Manager Trademarks related to the Venues as approved by Manager, during the Term, in connection with the promotion and advertising of the Project and/or the components thereof, including the Hotel and the Venues; provided that development and use of any derivations of Manager Trademarks shall be subject to Manager’s prior written consent in each instance, and any such derivations (and derivations from derivations) shall be included among Manager Trademarks. Any modifications to the Manager Trademarks related to the Venues and the Manager Concepts created or acquired by or on behalf of Manager or its Affiliates during the Term of this Agreement shall be automatically added to and included in the license granted hereunder. Manager shall promptly notify Owner of any such creation, acquisitions, or modification. The license conferred upon Owner hereunder is limited to the Term and shall not extend to Manager Trademarks as related to Existing Manager Facilities, Existing Recipes or related Manager Proprietary Information.

(b)To the extent not previously done, Manager shall, at its own cost, promptly register all of the Manager Trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and following the issuance of the registrations, shall thereafter take all actions to maintain such registrations until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement or the date Owner ceases to utilize the license granted pursuant to Section 2.5 below.

21

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with the development by Owner and Manager of the menus for the Venues (and any subsequent amendments or modifications to the menus from time to time during the term), Owner agrees that any recipe, cocktail mix or other mix or other mix of liquid or solid food or beverage products developed by Manager or Manager Employees at or for use at the Venues or elsewhere shall constitute Existing Recipes and Manager Proprietary Information for purposes of this Agreement and, provided further, Owner acknowledges and agrees that Owner or Owner’s or Affiliates shall not be permitted to use the Existing Recipes at any other restaurant owned or operated by Owner or its Affiliates. For sake of clarity, Owner acknowledges and agrees that Existing Recipes include and will include variations and adaptations of and from Existing Recipes as existing on the Effective Date or at any time thereafter; creative variations and adaptations being essential to creative cooking. Manager will not notify Owner of all such variations and adaptations, and Owner does not anticipate or require such notifications; each Party recognizing that Manager’s creative flexibility is encouraged and expected and not regulated hereunder and that such flexibility will not be in derogation of Manager’s ownership of Existing Recipes (as may be modified or adapted).

(d) In the event Manager loses the right to use the Manager Trademarks used by Manager in connection with the Venues, the Owner and Manager shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon a substitute trademark for any Manager Trademark that no longer can be used, provided, however, that if Manager and Owner are not able to agree upon such substitute trademark within ten (10) days after Manager has proposed the substitute trademark, Manager may proceed to use such substitute trademark or identify others for Owner’s consideration, in which event the ten (10)-day review process shall be repeated as to the proposed substitute trademarks.

(e)Owner and Hotel Operator agree that the nature and quality of all services rendered by Owner and Hotel Operator in connection with the Manager Trademarks, all products sold by Owner and Hotel Operator under the Manager Trademarks; and all related advertising, promotional and other related uses of the Manager Trademarks by Owner and Hotel Operator shall conform to the standards generally applied at the applicable operations at the Competitive Facilities as reasonably determined by Manager.

(f) Owner and Hotel Operator agree to cooperate with Manager in facilitating Manager’s control of such nature and quality, to permit reasonable inspection of Owner’s and Hotel Operator’s operations, and to supply Manager with specimens/samples of use of the Manager Trademarks from each such use on an annual basis, to Alpareno Restaurant Group, LLC, at such time as directed by Manager, and to provide additional specimens/samples of all uses of the Manager Trademarks upon request for Manager’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

2.5.2Approval of Use of Manager Trademarks. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Manager shall have prior approval over the manner in which the Manager Trademarks are used by Hotel Operator or Owner in connection with the operation of the Project, such approval to be granted or withheld in Manager’s sole but reasonable discretion (for the avoidance of doubt, the right of Manager to approve “in its sole but reasonable discretion” of the manner in which the Manager Trademarks are used is not intended to allow Manager to effectively deny the use thereof but rather to insist that the Manager Trademarks be used in a manner that is acceptable to Manager “in its sole but reasonable discretion” in accordance with the Standard and in a manner that does not infringe and is not in derogation of Manager’s rights in and to the Manager Trademarks). In the event Manager disapproves any proposed use of the Manager Trademarks in connection with the operation of the Venues or the content of any promotion thereof, Manager shall in good faith suggest and provide reasonable replacement use and content for use by Hotel Operator or Owner. Once the materials constituting the Manager Trademarks are approved, including, without limitation, any approved Marketing Materials, then repeat and comparable uses of such licensed trademarks are hereby deemed permissible uses and shall not require the prior written approval of Manager; provided, Manager may at any time modify or withdraw approval of such materials and use by written notice to Hotel Operator and Owner, in which event Manager shall suggest reasonable replacements for the same, and Hotel Operator and Owner shall cease use of such materials in a commercially reasonable period. The failure of Manager to respond within ten (10) business days to a written request from Hotel Operator or Owner for approval of submitted documentation containing the Manager Trademarks shall be deemed to be an approval by Manager of such submitted documentation. Approval of a particular use, actual or deemed, shall be valid for continued use (subject to the provisions hereof), with any additional requests or changes requiring further prior written approval of Manager in accordance with this Section 2.5.2.

22

2.5.3Limitations. The grant of a royalty free and non-exclusive license of the Manager Trademarks for or relating to the Venues to Owner and Hotel Operator is for use solely in connection with the operation, promotion and advertising of the Venues as provided herein. Other than in connection with the Venues as expressly permitted herein, none of Owner, Hotel Operator, nor any of their respective Affiliates, agents, employees, representatives or successors or assigns, shall acquire rights in (other than the license conferred herein) or utilize, at any time or in any way not expressly permitted herein, any of the Manager Trademarks, or any derivations of the Manager Trademarks, in connection with any other operations at the Hotel or any other restaurant, food and beverage operation, hotel, bar, lounge, nightclub or other business in any other property owned, managed, franchised, licensed or operated by Owner, Hotel Operator or any of their respective Affiliates or in which they or their Affiliates have an interest or in respect of which any of them consult or provide services.

2.5.4Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Manager Regarding Marks. Manager represents and warrants that, to its knowledge (i) Manager has full power and authority to license to Owner and Hotel Operator the use of the Manager Trademarks as provided herein (provided, however, that Manager has disclosed that the Orno trademark is subject to a claim by a third party), and (ii) Manager has obtained all necessary consents and approvals for such license of the Manager Trademarks to Owner and Hotel Operator (provided, however, that Manager has disclosed that the Orno trademark is subject to a claim by a third party). Manager covenants that it shall take all further action reasonably necessary to maintain Manager’s license of the Manager Trademarks to Owner and Hotel Operator at all times during the Term, subject to Manager’s right to propose substitute trademarks from time to time as provided in this Agreement.

2.5.5License of Owner Trademarks. From and after the final determination of the Owner Trademarks and the registration of the same (if applicable) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, pursuant to Section 2.4.1 above, and continuing until the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, and in accordance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, Article 7 hereof), Owner hereby grants to Manager and its respective authorized agents, employees, and representatives a non-exclusive (except as provided for in this Agreement), royalty free, non-transferable license, right and privilege to utilize the Owner Trademarks, the Owner Concepts and the Hotel Brand during the Term in relation to and in connection with the operation and management of the applicable Venues and in connection with the promotion and advertising of the applicable Venues, and to utilize Content, as provided in this Agreement. Any modifications to the Owner Trademarks or the Owner Concepts (or Content) or the Hotel Brand created or acquired by or on behalf of Owner and/or its Affiliates during the Term of this Agreement shall be automatically added to and included in the license granted hereunder.

Manager agrees that the nature and quality of all services rendered Manager in connection with the Owner Trademarks, all products sold by Manager under the Owner Trademarks; and all related advertising, promotional and other related uses of the Owner Trademarks by Manager shall conform to the standards generally applied at the applicable operations at the Competitive Facilities as reasonably determined by Owner. Manager agrees to cooperate with Owner in facilitating Owner’s control of such nature and quality, to permit reasonable inspection of Manager’s operations, and to supply Owner specimens/samples of use of the Owner Trademarks from each such use on an annual basis, to and at such time as directed by Owner, and to provide additional specimens/samples of all uses of the Owner Trademarks upon request for Owner’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

From and after the expiration of the Initial Restriction Term through August 5, 2023, Manager will not open, own, operate, franchise, manage, lease, license, consult with, participate in, or have any financial interest (in excess of a five percent (5.0%) ownership interest) in any restaurant within the Area of Protection (other than the Manager Restaurants), unless (a) Manager provides Owner a right of first refusal to participate in the ownership and/or operation, as applicable, of any such restaurant, (b) Owner determines, in its sole but good faith discretion, that opening, owning, operating or managing any such restaurant would not adversely impact revenues at the Project, and (c) the Signature Restaurant is yielding positive Net Profit and has been yielding positive Net Profit for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date on which Manager proposes to open a restaurant.

2.6.2 ROFO Opportunity. After August 5, 2023 and through and until the first (1st) anniversary of any termination of this Agreement, neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates, nor any principal, director or member of Manager or any of its Affiliates (or any entity in which any such individuals owns or holds any direct or indirect beneficial, management or ownership interest (any such person or entity, a “Manager Restricted Party”)) will prepare cuisine similar to the Existing Recipes at, or open, own, operate, franchise, manage, lease, license, consult with, participate in, or have any financial interest (in excess of a five percent (5.0%) ownership interest) in any full service restaurant, hotel bar, hotel select service restaurant, or other food and beverage facility at a hotel within the Area of Protection, unless Manager has complied with this Section 2.6.2 below and Owner has made an Investment Election pursuant to Section 2.6.2(b)(ii) (a transaction to which this Section 2.6.2 applies, a “ROFO Opportunity”).

(a) Manager shall deliver to Owner in writing the material terms of any ROFO Opportunity which a Manager Restricted Party is interested in pursuing, with such detail and specificity as the Manager Restricted Parties customarily include in an investment proposal for consideration by institutional real estate investors (an “Investment Notice”) and such Investment Notice need only contain such information regarding the ROFO Opportunity that shall then be in the Manager Restricted Parties’ possession and shall offer Owner or its Affiliates (the “Owner ROFO Parties”, each an “Owner ROFO Party”) the right to negotiate to fund all of the third party equity capital set forth in the Investment Notice with respect to the ROFO Opportunity, prior to giving the same such opportunity to any third party investor.

24

(b) The Owner ROFO Parties shall have a period of twenty (20) business days following the date of receipt of the Investment Notice to conduct such due diligence and perform such analysis as they deem necessary to evaluate the ROFO Opportunity (the “Due Diligence Period”). At any time within such Due Diligence Period, the Owner ROFO Parties shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to Manager (an “Investment Election”) to either (i) reject the ROFO Opportunity (an “Investment Rejection”), or (ii) agree to participate in the ROFO Opportunity and specify the general terms of a transaction in connection therewith. In the event of an Investment Rejection or a Negotiation Trigger (as defined below), the Manager or the applicable Manager Restricted Party shall thereafter have the right, following the date of the Investment Rejection or the Negotiation Trigger, as applicable, to enter into an agreement to acquire or invest in the ROFO Opportunity with any other partner without the Owner ROFO Parties’ participation and without further obligation to the Owner ROFO Parties (it being understood that a failure to respond within the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed an Investment Rejection), unless such ROFO Opportunity is offered to any such other partner on terms and conditions substantially more favorable to such party than what was offered to the Owner ROFO Parties pursuant to the Investment Notice (including, without, limitation, price, promote structure and fee structure) (the “Third Party Offer Terms”), in which event, Manager shall be obligated to re-offer such ROFO Opportunity to the Owner ROFO Parties on such Third Party Offer Terms. In the event the Owner ROFO Parties agree to participate in the ROFO Opportunity pursuant to clause (ii) immediately above, the applicable Manager Restricted Party and the Owner ROFO Parties shall, for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days, negotiate in good faith on an exclusive basis to enter into an agreement with respect to the ROFO Opportunity and, in connection therewith, will each act in good faith to agree on the terms of the investment relating to the ROFO Opportunity. If the Owner ROFO Parties and the Manager Restricted Parties shall not enter into a mutually binding agreement relating to such ROFO Investment within such sixty (60) day period (any such failure, a “Negotiation Trigger”), the Manager Restricted Parties shall thereafter be at liberty to terminate pending negotiations and pursue a deal with another investment partner. For the avoidance of doubt, the Manager Restricted Parties may enter into an agreement to acquire or invest in a ROFO Opportunity at any time and only shall be required to comply with the procedures set forth herein prior to the closing of such acquisition or investment.

ARTICLE 3
FEES AND EXPENSES

3.1.Management Fees.

3.1.1Base Management Fee. The Base Fee shall be calculated and paid monthly in arrears based on the Operating Revenue for the immediately preceding month. Commencing with the month immediately following the month in which the Effective Date occurs and continuing monthly thereafter, Owner shall, on or before the tenth (10^th) day of each month, pay to Manager an amount equal to the monthly Base Fee based on the Operating Revenue for the immediately preceding month.

3.1.2Incentive Fee. The Incentive Fee shall be calculated and paid annually in arrears based on the Net Profit accrued for the immediately preceding Operating Year. Following each Operating Year, Owner shall, on or before the tenth (10^th) day of the month immediately following delivery of the Financial Statements, pay to Manager the Incentive Fee payable for such immediately preceding Operating Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, for any applicable Operating Year, the Net Profit is less than Zero Dollars ($0.00) (the amount of the shortfall, less than Zero Dollars ($0.00), is the “Net Profit Deficiency Amount”), then (i) Manager shall not be entitled to an Incentive Fee for such Operating Year, and (ii) the amount of any Net Profit Deficiency Amount for such Operating Year shall roll-over to the subsequent Operating Year and shall reduce the Net Profit of such subsequent Operating Year for purposes of calculating any applicable Incentive Fee. For example, if there is a Net Profit Deficiency Amount in the amount of $30,000 in the second Operating Year, and Net Profit in the amount of $100,000 in the third Operating Year, then the Incentive Fee for the third Operating Year would only be calculated on Net Profit in the amount of $70,000 (i.e., $100,000 less the $30,000 Net Profit Deficiency Amount).

25

3.1.3Reconciliation of Management Fees. The Management Fees shall be reconciled on an annual basis as follows. If the Financial Statement delivered to Manager pursuant to Section 9.4 below shows an underpayment or overpayment of the Management Fees for the applicable Operating Year, then (a) in the case of an underpayment, Owner shall pay such underpaid amounts of the Management Fees to Manager within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Financial Statement (provided that upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Owner shall pay all underpaid amounts to Manager no later than thirty (30) days after such expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, which payment obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement), and (b) in the case of an overpayment, Owner shall offset such overpaid amounts against the next installments of Management Fees otherwise payable to Manager hereunder until such overpayment has been offset in full (provided that upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Manager shall pay all unapplied amounts of such overpayment amount to Owner no later than thirty (30) days after such expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, which payment obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement).

3.2.Reimbursable Expenses. Manager shall be reimbursed for Travel Expenses in a manner consistent with the prevailing travel policies of the Hotel for third party vendors and suppliers as the same may exist from time to time (except as otherwise provided herein) (but in all events subject to and in accordance with the applicable approved Annual Plan), which policies may include, among other requirements, that Manager present to Owner, concurrently with the submission of Manager’s invoice for reimbursement of the Travel Expenses, receipts, invoices, expense statements, vouchers and such other supporting information as Owner shall reasonably require. Travel Expenses shall only include coach travel (direct flights, if available, on a commercial carrier).

3.3.Intentionally Deleted.

3.4.Taxes. Manager shall pay any income, sales, value added, use, excise or similar tax assessed against Manager by any Governmental Authority on payments made by Owner to Manager under this Agreement. All amounts payable to Manager shall be paid by Owner subject to any deduction for any withholding, value-added or other taxes, duties or other deductions required under the tax laws and tax treaties for the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located.

ARTICLE 5
OPERATION OF THE VENUES

5.1.Plans and Forecasts.

5.1.1Proposed Annual Plan. The Venues shall be operated pursuant to an Annual Plan approved by the parties, and the Annual Plan for the remainder of calendar year 2021 is attached hereto. On or before November 1 of each Operating Year thereafter, Manager shall prepare and cause to be delivered to Owner an operating budget and plan (the “Annual Plan”) for the next Operating Year, prepared in accordance with GAAP and the Uniform System and organized by Venue (as applicable). The proposed Annual Plan shall be prepared so as to attempt, using commercially reasonable efforts, to operate the Venues in an economical, efficient and cost-effective manner, consistent with the Standard. The proposed Annual Plan shall include, without limitation and to the extent applicable:

(a)Manager’s reasonable estimate (on a monthly basis) of Operating Revenue, Operating Expenses, detailed projected profit and loss and cash flow statements for the upcoming Operating Year, together with a comparison of such estimates for the upcoming Operating Year to the corresponding results for the Operating Year then ending (for each Operating Year following the first Operating Year), together with the assumptions forming the bases of such estimates;

26

(b)a separate estimate of all Management Fees (for the applicable Operating Year) to be paid under this Agreement;

(c)estimates for amounts needed for Capital Improvements (including a contingency and/or reserve line item for unforeseen needs arising within an Operating Year), and Maintenance and Repair for the Venues and any other recognized potential major capital project initiatives for the ensuing three (3) Operating Years (the “Capital Budget”);

(d)estimates for amounts needed for working capital and timing for funding for such Operating Year;

(e)a marketing, advertising and public relations/promotional program for the Venues to be carried out in accordance with Section 7.1, or a description of material proposed changes to such programs after they are adopted;

(f)estimates for the Venues Personnel Costs, and the number and categories of employees needed for operation of the Venues;

(g)an estimate of the Manager Complimentaries to be provided by Manager at the Venues in accordance with Section 5.5.5(b);

(h)an estimate of the Travel Expenses which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, shall not be exceeded without consent of Owner in its sole and absolute discretion;

(i)to the extent not provided in subsection (a) above, a one (1) year operating projection; and

(j)any other matter pertaining to the purpose of the Annual Plan reasonably deemed appropriate by Manager or requested by Owner.

5.1.2Approval of Annual Plan. Owner shall review the proposed Annual Plan and shall provide Manager with any objections to such proposed Annual Plan in writing (in reasonable detail and stating the bases for such objections in good faith) within twenty (20) days after receipt of the proposed Annual Plan from Manager. If Owner fails to respond to Manager’s submittal of an Annual Plan within such twenty (20) day period, Manager may deliver a second notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.6 below to Owner requesting Owner’s approval of such Annual Plan (which second notice shall state in bold and all capitalized letters that Owner’s failure to respond to such second notice within ten (10) business days after Owner’s receipt thereof shall be deemed Owner’s approval of the submitted Annual Plan), and if Owner fails to timely respond within such additional ten (10) business day period, Owner shall be deemed to have approved of the Annual Plan. If Owner objects to any portion of the proposed Annual Plan in accordance with this Section 5.1.2, then Owner and Manager shall work together in good faith to resolve any disputed item. If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement within thirty (30) days, the Annual Plan shall be modified to incorporate Owner’s proposed changes.

27

(i) Operation in Accordance with Annual Plan. Manager shall supervise and manage the operation of the Venues in accordance with the Annual Plan for the applicable Operating Year; provided, however, that Owner and Manager acknowledge and agree that the Annual Plans are projections for informational and planning purposes. As such, Owner agrees that Manager shall not be liable for any variance between actual results and the estimate of the projected results for the Operating Year set out in the Annual Plan, it being agreed that the Annual Plan cannot be relied upon as an assurance of actual results for such Operating Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Manager shall not, except for Emergency Expenditures (as hereafter defined) or otherwise with the prior written consent of Owner, exceed the expenditures set out in any operational budget portion of the Annual Plan other than within a ten percent (10%) variance per line item, or within a five percent (5%) variance in the aggregate of all of the line items, in each case as shown on the summary page of the profit and loss statement in the Annual Plan for such Operating Year. In any event, Manager shall exercise diligent efforts to notify Owner in writing of the need to depart from the Annual Plan if, in the reasonable opinion of Manager, adherence to the Annual Plan is impractical or such departure is necessary or desirable for the orderly, efficient or profitable operation of the Hotel. An “Emergency Expenditure” is an expenditure that is immediately necessary, in Manager’s good faith judgment, to protect any person or property from imminent physical harm or to permit the Venues to continue to operate; provided, however, that (i) Manager shall promptly notify Owner of any such Emergency Expenditure (i.e., prior to the incurrence of any expenditure if reasonably possible but in all events no later than twenty four (24) hours following the incurrence of such expense) and (ii) in no event shall Manager spend more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) for an Emergency Expenditure without first obtaining the prior written approval of Owner. For the avoidance of doubt, Manager shall not exceed the expenditures set out in the Capital Budget without Owner’s prior written approval in its sole and absolute discretion.

(ii) No Manager Funding Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall Manager be responsible for, or have any obligation to pay or provide any funds for, any costs or expenses of the design, construction, remodeling, fixturing, supplying, renovation, repair, replacement, ownership, maintenance or operation of the Venues, including, without limitation, working capital and Venues Personnel Costs; it being the understanding of the Parties that all such costs and expenses shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of Owner, other than those costs and expenses becoming due from Manager pursuant to Section 13.1.1 and Article 14 of this Agreement, which shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of Manager.

5.2.Maintenance and Repair.

5.2.1Maintenance and Repair. Manager shall, in collaboration with Hotel Operator, cause the Venues Personnel at all times to keep the Managed Facilities in good working order and in a clean, neat and orderly condition and in compliance with the Annual Plan. In furtherance of the foregoing, Manager shall, in collaboration with Hotel Operator, cause the Venues Personnel to take such actions during the hours of operation and at the end of each business day to maintain the Managed Facilities in a clean, neat and orderly condition, including, without limitation, cleaning the Managed Facilities’ service stations, stocking the Managed Facilities with all necessary Inventory, properly storing all food and beverage items, and conducting such other activities specific to the Managed Facilities that will not be handled in the daily cleaning of the Hotel. Manager shall also notify Owner and Hotel Operator with respect to any Maintenance and Repair for the Managed Facilities other than the Signature Restaurant, and of the need for any Maintenance and Repair of which Manager is aware, and Owner shall, or shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Hotel Operator to, perform all such Maintenance and Repair, as well as all such other Maintenance and Repair as provided in the applicable Annual Plan. Owner shall ensure that the performance of such Maintenance and Repair is undertaken in a manner reasonably calculated to avoid or minimize interference with the operation of the Managed Facilities.

28

5.2.2Capital Improvements. Manager shall notify Owner, concurrently with its delivery of each proposed Annual Plan, of any Capital Improvements it deems advisable to be undertaken during the Operating Year to which the proposed Annual Plan applies in order to keep the Managed Facilities in good working order and condition and in compliance with the Standard. Manager shall include reasonable contingency and reserve assumptions in connection therewith. Subject to and in accordance with the Capital Budget and Annual Plan, Owner shall cause to be performed all Capital Improvements to the Managed Facilities as provided in the applicable Annual Plan or otherwise requested by Manager and approved by Owner in its sole and absolute discretion. Owner shall coordinate with Manager in scheduling the performance of Capital Improvements, and shall ensure that the performance of such Capital Improvements is undertaken in a manner reasonably calculated to avoid or minimize interference with the operation of the Managed Facilities.

5.2.3 Remediation of Problems. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Owner (and not Manager) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform all work necessary to remedy (i) any building defects relating to the construction of the Managed Facilities or other works that would adversely affect (by more than a de minimis extent) Manager’s ability to operate the Venues to the Standard (subject to this Agreement) or present an imminent threat to the life and safety of guests or patrons of the Venues, (ii) any Hazardous Material or other environmental problem or other health or safety hazards to the extent required to do so by Applicable Law, and (iii) any other emergency situations that may arise from time to time. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Hotel Management Agreement, Owner shall retain full responsibility and liability for and control over the remediation and administration of such problems, which it shall carry out at Owner’s expense.

5.3.Personnel.

5.3.1Employment and Selection of Venues Personnel. All Venues Personnel shall be employees of Hotel Operator. All Venues Personnel shall be properly qualified for their positions, in accordance with the job descriptions and standards established by Manager. Hotel Operator shall have the right to hire all properly qualified Venues Personnel in collaboration with Manager, and, also in collaboration with Manager, to remove or terminate the employment of any Venues Personnel (including Executive Staff) whose removal or termination is reasonably warranted; provided that prior to hiring or terminating any Venues Personnel, including any Executive Staff, Hotel Operator shall consult with Manager regarding such hiring or termination, as applicable. In the event Manager desires to terminate the employment of any Venues Personnel, Manager shall notify Hotel Operator of the same and the reasons for such proposed termination. If the reasons for the proposed termination are acceptable to Hotel Operator and Owner, and provided that such termination would otherwise be in compliance with all applicable laws, the Hotel Management Agreement and the operating policies and procedures of Hotel Operator (including those employment policies, practices and procedures applicable to the remainder of the Hotel), Hotel Operator shall terminate the employment of such Venues Personnel as recommended by Manager. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Hotel Operator shall have the right, in collaboration with Manager, to determine the reasonable labor policies for the Venues Personnel and have control over, without limitation, the hiring, compensation, discipline and discharge of all Venues Personnel, and Hotel Operator, in collaboration with Manager, shall have final authority over all human resource issues concerning the Venues Personnel.

BOOKS AND RECORDS AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

9.1.Maintenance of Books and Records. Owner shall be responsible for (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Hotel Operator, on behalf of Owner, to be responsible for) the management of all financial affairs and accounting activities of the Venues, including, without limitation, the payment, when due, of all Operating Expenses, processing of accounts payables and receivables, cash management, including reasonable cash-on-hand, the preparation of the Monthly Reports and annual Financial Statements, and the maintenance of the books of account and other records relating to or reflecting the results of the operation of the Venues; provided, however, that Manager shall cause the Venues Personnel to be responsible for the day-to-day daily cash management and the daily deposit of all cash receipts as described below. All of the financial books and records of the Venues shall be the property of Owner. The Venues shall use a point of sale system approved by Owner and in compliance with the requirements in Section 2.1.3(j) above. The initial cost of such point of sale system and computer interface shall be paid by Owner, and any recurring expenses associated with the point of sale system or the computer interface shall be an Operating Expense. All costs and expenses incurred by Owner in providing the financial management and accounting services hereunder, including an allocable portion of the cost of Owner’s personnel, shall be considered and included in Operating Expenses.

Manager, in collaboration with Hotel Operator, shall direct the Venues Personnel to be responsible for the day-to-day cash management, and in connection therewith, (i) Owner shall, in accordance with the approved Annual Plan, provide each Venue with funds in the cashiers drawers necessary for the daily cash flow operations of each such Venue and Manager, in collaboration with Hotel Operator, shall direct the Venues Personnel to be responsible for maintaining adequate cash drawer balances from the working capital funds provided by Owner to address the daily needs and operations of each such Venue, and (ii) other than such amounts to be retained in the daily cashiers drawers as described above, Manager, in collaboration with Hotel Operator, shall direct the Venues Personnel, on a daily basis, to deposit all other Operating Revenue received from the operation of the Venues into one or more bank accounts designated by Owner, in Owner’s sole discretion. Manager, in collaboration with Hotel Operator, shall direct the Venues Personnel to be responsible for the management of the funds maintained in the daily cashiers drawers, by, without limitation, managing the cash within such cashiers drawers and keeping accurate records of all funds deposited into and paid from such cashiers drawers. Upon Manager’s reasonable request, Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Hotel Operator to provide timely “flash reports” of the financial operations of the Venues, subject to the terms and conditions of the Hotel Management Agreement and in accordance with the Hotel Operator’s existing financial reporting systems.

9.2.Monthly Reports. Owner shall cause to be prepared monthly financial reports that reflect the financial results of the operation of each of the Venues for each month of each Operating Year, in a format reasonably designated by Owner (which may be reasonably modified from time to time) substantially similar to the operating reports for the Hotel (the “Monthly Reports”) and shall include: (i) a profit and loss statement of the operation of each Venue separately, and of all Venues in the aggregate, for such calendar month; (ii) a detailed statement of Operating Revenue, Operating Expenses, daily cash-on-hand starting and ending balances, and Net Profit for each Venue separately, and for all Venues in the aggregate, for such calendar month; and (iii) a calculation of the Base Fee payable for such calendar month. Owner shall cause to be delivered to Manager each Monthly Report on or before the fifteenth (15^th) day of the month following the month (or partial month) to which such Monthly Report relates.

9.3.Intentionally Omitted.

9.4.Annual Financial Statements. Owner shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Manager no later than March 31 of each Operating Year, annual financial statements for the operation of the Venues for the preceding Operating Year (consisting of a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement) (the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements shall be in a format reasonably designated by Owner (which may be reasonably modified from time to time) substantially similar to the operating reports for the Hotel, shall be certified as true and correct by an officer or other authorized representative of Owner, and shall include: (i) a balance sheet, (ii) a profit and loss statement of the operation of each Venue separately, and of all Venues in the aggregate (including detailed statements of Operating Revenue, Operating Expenses, and Net Profit), (iii) a calculation of all Management Fees payable for such Operating Year, (iv) a summary of all Management Fees previously paid to Manager, and a reconciliation statement reflecting any appropriate adjustments to be made for any overpayment or underpayment of the Management Fees actually paid in respect of such Operating Year, and (v) such other matters as may be included by Owner. The Party owing money as a result of such adjustment shall pay such amount to the other Party within thirty (30) days after such reconciliation statement has been delivered to Manager provided such amounts are not the subject of a dispute in accordance with Section 9.5 below. If Manager is to repay any overpaid amounts to Owner, in lieu of making such payment, Manager may elect in writing to have Owner offset such overpaid amounts against the Management Fees otherwise payable to Manager hereunder until such overpaid amounts have been reimbursed to Owner in full.

9.5.Disputes. If Manager objects to any matter set forth in any Monthly Report or Financial Statement, Manager shall deliver written notice thereof to Owner not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the applicable report or statement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such objection (and if Manager does not deliver any such objection notice within such 15-day period, such report or statement, as applicable, shall be deemed binding and conclusive as against Manager). If Manager timely delivers such objection notice, the Parties shall promptly discuss all such objections and shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve all such objections. If the Parties are unable to resolve any disputes with respect to the matters set forth in Manager’s notice within sixty (60) days after delivery of such notice, either Party may submit such dispute for resolution in accordance with Article 14.

9.6.Inspection Rights. Owner agrees that, upon reasonable advance written request from Manager, it shall provide to Manager any information and documents which Manager may reasonably request and as is customary in the food service industry as verification for the amount of the Operating Revenue, Net Profit (and the various deductions from Operating Revenue) and the calculation of the Management Fees. Manager shall have the right, during normal business hours, upon at least seventy-two (72) hours prior written notice to Owner, and at Manager’s sole cost and expense, to inspect the books and records regarding the Venues and/or to have an audit conducted by an independent auditor selected by Manager of all such books and records, including all such records reasonably required to verify the amount of the Operating Revenue, Net Profit (and the various deductions from Operating Revenue), Management Fees and other amounts payable to Manager under this Agreement and to verify the calculation of all performance thresholds under this Agreement (including the performance thresholds set forth in Section 13.3.3 hereof). A copy of any such audit prepared by or for Manager shall be delivered to Owner and any underpayment or overpayment disclosed in such audit, including, without limitation, of the Management Fees, shall be paid to the appropriate Party within thirty (30) days after the date such audit is delivered to Owner. Subject to the terms of the next-following sentence, if the audit reveals that the amount of Management Fees payable to Manager for the period covered by such audit were understated by more than five percent (5%), the reasonable cost of such audit shall be paid by Owner. If Owner disagrees with the result of Manager’s audit, Owner shall, at Owner’s sole expense, conduct its own independent audit (a copy of which shall be promptly delivered to Manager upon completion), and if following the completion of Owner’s audit, the Parties cannot agree upon the amount of any overpayment or under payment within sixty (60) days after delivery of such Owner’s audit to Manager, either Party may submit such dispute for resolution in accordance with Article 14.

In addition to the remedies provided in Article 13, any Transfer by Manager in violation of the terms of this Article 10 shall be void and of no force or effect and shall constitute an Event of Default governed by the terms of Section 13.1. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Transfer by Manager release the assignor from its obligations under this Agreement.

10.2.Owner Transfer. Owner shall have the right, without Manager’s consent, to effect any (i) Transfer, in whole or in part, to any Person, provided that any Assignment with respect to this Agreement is effected to a transferee of the Hotel (subject to Owner’s right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 13.3.2), or any (ii) Transfer (a) to any Affiliate of Owner or Person who has a direct or indirect Ownership Interest in Owner; (b) if the proposed transferor is a natural Person, by succession or testamentary disposition upon his or her death; (c) if Owner or any Person having a direct or indirect Ownership in Owner is a public company, then (1) by a direct or indirect transfer of the stock of such public company, (2) by the direct or indirect creation of new stock in such public company, (3) by direct or indirect stock splits or reverse stock splits in such public company, (4) by redemption of stock by such public company, (5) the conversion of such public company from a public to private company, or (6) by any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or similar transaction with respect to such public company, (d) in connection with the estate planning of such transferor to (1) an Immediate Family Member of such interest holder (or to partnerships or limited liability companies controlled solely by one or more of such Immediate Family Members), or (2) a trust established for the benefit of an Immediate Family Member, (e) by devise or descent or by operation of law upon the death or incapacity of a member, partner or shareholder of any direct or indirect owner of an Ownership Interest in Owner. Upon any Assignment by Owner, the transferor shall be relieved of all liabilities and obligations under this Agreement accruing from and after the effective date of such Assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer by Owner will be to a Prohibited Person or otherwise violate Sanction Laws.

10.3.Effect of Permitted Assignment or Transfer. A consent to any particular Transfer by Owner shall not be deemed to be a consent to any other Transfer or a waiver of the requirement that consent be obtained in the case of any other Transfer.

42

10.4.Mortgages. Owner shall have the right to encumber all of the assets that comprise the Hotel, Project, Venues, Managed Facilities or any portion of any of the foregoing or interest therein including the Land and all improvements thereto and all FF&E and supplies located at or used in the operation of the Hotel, Project, Venues, Managed Facilities or any portion of any of the foregoing and assign to a Mortgagee all of Owner’s right, title and interest in this Agreement as collateral security for any loan secured by the Mortgage. Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that Mezzanine Financing is expressly permitted hereunder (and Owner shall have a right to grant a security interest in the direct or indirect Ownership Interests of Owner in connection therewith). Upon reasonable advance notice from a Mortgagee, Manager shall permit such Mortgagee and its agents and representatives to enter any part of the Venues at any reasonable time for the purposes of examining or inspecting the Venues, or examining or copying the books and records of the Venues; provided, however, that (a) any expenses incurred in connection with such activities and in connection with Owner’s financing generally shall not be Operating Expenses of the Venues and shall be paid by Owner, and (b) Owner shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Mortgagee to agree to treat as confidential (including execution and delivery of a confidentiality agreement acceptable to Manager) any information such Mortgagee obtains from examining the books and records of the Venues provided by Owner to Manager, including the Annual Plan.

49

13.3.2Sale of Hotel. In addition to any termination right that Owner may have under any other provision of this Agreement, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon a sale of the majority of its ownership interest in the Hotel to an unrelated bona fide third-party purchaser at any time by providing Manager with written notice not less than thirty (30) days prior to the closing date of such sale. Such notice shall specify the effective termination date of this Agreement, which shall not be earlier than the closing date of such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Owner shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.3.2 at any time prior December 31, 2023, Owner shall pay the Termination Fee to Manager.

13.3.3Performance Test.

(a)In addition to any termination right that Owner may have under any other provision of this Agreement, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without payment of any termination fee, penalty or other damages, if, for any Operating Year commencing with calendar year 2023 following the Opening Date, (i) the Operating Revenue of the Venues for such Operating Year, in the aggregate, did not exceed an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the budgeted Operating Revenue, in aggregate, for the Venues in the Annual Plan or (ii) the Net Profit of the Venues, in aggregate, for such Operating Year did not exceed an amount equal to eighty percent ( 80%) of the budgeted Net Profit, in aggregate for the Venues in Annual Plan, provided that the budgeted Net Profit shall be adjusted for any variance in non-Manager controlled items (which shall be identified in the Annual Plan) including without limitation Insurance and CAM allocations (the “Performance Test”). The foregoing Performance Test shall be equitably adjusted in the event of the occurrence of any Force Majeure. In the event Manager believes that the Performance Test should be subject to equitable adjustment due to a valid Force Majeure event, Manager shall notify Owner of the same and the Parties shall meet in good faith to attempt to agree upon the equitable adjustment to the Performance Test based on such Force Majeure or periods of closure due to renovations, repairs or governmental order. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the equitable mitigation within sixty (60) days following the date the Parties first meet to discuss such equitable mitigation, then either the mitigation plan shall be modified to incorporate Owner’s proposed changes or the Owner may terminate this Agreement upon payment of the Termination Fee.

(b)The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Performance Test shall apply to the performance of all Venues in the aggregate (and not to any individual Venue or Venues), and any termination of this Agreement based on the failure to achieve any Performance Test shall apply to all Venues.

Any such action or omission shall be deemed an Event of Default of Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, any acts or omissions by Venues Personnel in violation of the policies and procedures of Manager shall not be imputed to Manager or its Affiliates, and Owner shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this section based on any such acts or omissions of any Venues Personnel (unless caused by Manager’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct in the hiring, training or supervision of the Venues Personnel). Owner recognizes that Manager is not responsible for liquor licenses for the Venues or for the Hotel generally.

50

13.3.5At Will Termination. In addition to any termination right that Owner may have under any other provision of this Agreement, from and after December 31, 2023, Owner shall have the absolute right to terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason (but not in connection with a termination under Sections 13.3.1 – 13.3.4 above) by delivering an irrevocable notice of such termination to Manager (the “At Will Termination Notice”).

13.5. No Release of Liability. No termination of this Agreement by either Party pursuant to this Article 13 shall relieve the other Party of any liability or obligation it may have to the terminating Party incurred prior to the termination of this Agreement.

No termination of this Agreement (or election not to terminate this Agreement) shall be deemed a waiver of any claim or right to any payment, the obligation for which shall have accrued prior to termination, nor any claim or remedy arising out of the circumstances giving rise to termination right hereunder. The Parties shall take the following actions upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement:

(a)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except as otherwise specifically provided herein with respect to Manager’s rights to use Content and all aspects of the Manager Proprietary Information, and Manager Guest Data, Manager shall have no right to use the trademarks, trade names, service marks or any other Intellectual Property Rights relating to the Hotel Operator Trademarks (the “Hotel Operator Intellectual Property”) or any abbreviation or derivation thereof, in any manner whatsoever, including in advertising or marketing materials, press releases, or other publications without Hotel Operator’s prior written consent, in its sole discretion. Owner and Manager may only use the name of the Hotel in compliance with Hotel Operator’s usage requirements and brand standards as disseminated from time to time, including without limitation, proper affixation of trademark and copyright notices. Owner and Manager acknowledge that, other than in connection with identifying the Hotel and Venues, and indicating the location and/or address of the Venues as described above, Hotel Operator shall have the exclusive right to inspect and approve in its reasonable discretion all other uses by Owner and Manager of the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property under this Agreement and that all inspection and approval of the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property will be directed by Hotel Operator, and that Owner shall forward all proposed advertising or other materials using the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property by Manager hereunder to Hotel Operator within a reasonable period of time, but no less than one week, prior to the proposed publication of the advertising. If Hotel Operator determines in its reasonable discretion that the nature or quality of the samples or any of the proposed advertising, goods or services or other uses of the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property by Owner or Manager is unsatisfactory, then Hotel Operator shall promptly so notify Owner or Manager, as applicable, in writing and shall either: (i) request reasonable modifications to the proposed use, and/or (ii) request that said use immediately cease, and Owner or Manager, as applicable, shall comply with said requests. If Hotel Operator approves of a use of the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property, no further approval of Hotel Operator shall be required for the continued use of the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property in the same manner for which such approval was granted, provided that Hotel Operator (acting reasonably) reserves the right to withdraw such approval at any time upon written notice to Owner or Manager, as applicable. Each of Owner and Manager agree that it shall not contest, directly or indirectly, Hotel Operator’s or a successor-in-interest’s right to use and own the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property. Each of Owner and Manager acknowledges that all goodwill which may arise from the use of the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Hotel Operator, as the case may be, and shall inure to the sole benefit of Hotel Operator.

(b)In the event Hotel Operator changes or modifies any of its Hotel Operator Intellectual Property, all of which Hotel Operator may do in its sole discretion, Owner and Manager shall conform all its uses of the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property in accordance with such modifications as soon as practicable, and this Agreement and the restrictions and obligations in this Section 16.12.2 shall apply to the modified Hotel Operator Intellectual Property. Owner and Manager each acknowledges that it shall not be the owner or claim any right, title, or interest in the modified Hotel Operator Intellectual Property.

(c)Manager shall promptly cease using any Hotel Operator Intellectual Property if (i) it receives notice from Hotel Operator or Owner, or otherwise becomes aware, of the termination or expiration of the Hotel Management Agreement, or (ii) this Agreement terminates or expires.

(d)Manager acknowledges that Hotel Operator shall determine in its sole discretion whether Manager is infringing, misusing, diluting, or disparaging the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property and that if Hotel Operator notifies Owner or Manager in writing of any breach of Section 16.12.2, including use of the Hotel Operator Intellectual Property, and if Owner or Manager fails to cure said breach within twenty (20) days, Hotel Operator shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief under this Section 16.12.2. Neither Party shall amend or waive any provision of this Section 16.12.2 without Hotel Operator’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Hotel Operator’s sole discretion; and further, any Owner approval or waiver under this Section 16.12.2 shall be subject to such prior written consent of Hotel Operator. Neither Party shall take any action or fail to take any action which would render this Agreement, including this Section 16.12.2, unenforceable or void in any respect. This Section 16.12.2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
